Adde et al.: Spatial #Biodiversity Indicators and a Composite #Index for #Conservation #Prioritization in Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­@biorxivpreprint.bsky.social πŸŒπŸŒπŸŸπŸ¦πŸ¦‹πŸŒ³πŸͺ° www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/5 🧡 as part of speed2zero.ethz.ch/de/ & great thanks to everyone involved who moved this forward!

Are you working on instance recognition or personalized computer vision? Are you at @cvprconference.bsky.social? Are you looking for an INTERESTING NEW CHALLENGE?? Come join us today (6/12) at the first EVER Animal Re-Identification Tutorial!! 8:30am-12pm in 202C sites.google.com/view/animal-...

Emperor penguins may never set foot on land. They breed and forage from sea ice and need it to remain stable for 8-9 months. But that's changing. @ptfretwell.bsky.social et al's analysis of satellite imagery suggests the birds’ numbers declined 22% over a 15-year period www.bas.ac.uk/media-post/e...

Come join us for the 12th Workshop on Fine-Grained Visual Categorization (FGVC). Starting today at 9am at @cvprconference.bsky.social. We will be in room 104E. #FGVC #CVPR2025 @fgvcworkshop.bsky.social

I'm excited to be at #CVPR2025 in Nashville! I'll be giving a few talks today and tomorrow: 6/11 Standing Out in a Crowd (209 A-C): β€œIf the Community Doesn't Exist, Build It" 2:50-3:10 pm, panel 3:30-4 pm (cont'd)

We are so honored to welcome @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social 🌱

Join us on June 11, 9am to discuss all things fine-grained! We are looking forward to a series of talks on semantic granularity, covering topics such as machine teaching, interpretability and much more! Room 104 E Schedule & details: sites.google.com/view/fgvc12 @cvprconference.bsky.social #CVPR25

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!!! Time to wake up early and go watch birds at the @cvprconference.bsky.social #CVBirdWalk Friday, June 13th, from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM at the scenic Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Greenway (1900 Davidson St, Nashville, TN 37206). maps.app.goo.gl/Km8oWJzgVQyo...

The #CVPR2025 main conference open access proceedings is up: openaccess.thecvf.com/CVPR2025 Workshop papers will be posted shortly. Stay tuned...

We’re excited to share that we will be hosting half-day tutorial on Animal Re-Identification at #CVPR2025! πŸ…πŸ˜πŸ„πŸ¦“πŸ³ When: June 12, 2025, 8:00–12:00 Where: Room 202 C, CVPR (hybrid format available!) Full details and program: sites.google.com/view/animal-...

Dave Thau, @lilyxu.bsky.social, and I are organizing a webinar series on AI for Biodiversity for the United Nations International Telecommunication Union (ITU) AI for Good. The talks will be part pre-recorded, part live-streamed, and launch in June.

We are happy to announce the #ICCV2025 Workshop on Curated Data for Efficient Learning! Our workshop focuses on all things involving the curation of datasets, including synthetic data generation, sample filtering, and dataset distillation. curateddata.github.io 1/

Great opportunity to sharpen your skills in the AI, data science, ecology & conservation space! Highly recommend #cv4ecology, after wrapping up a 2-week remote version that was graciously provided in support of our community. Many thanks to the organizers & volunteers for broadening our toolkit!

Sharing for reach in our community!

Dave Thau, @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social, and I are organizing biodiversity webinar talks for @itu.int AI for Good. Next week, I'll chat with Iadine Chades (Monash) on the promise and impact of decision AI for biodiversity. Please share questions you'd love to ask Iadine or our upcoming speakers!

The call for applications has just been released for #CV4Ecology2026!! This three-week intensive program trains ecologists and conservation practitioners to develop their own AI tools for their own data. When: Jan 12-30, 2026 Where: SCBI @smconservation.bsky.social

Currently, roughly 90–95% of AI usage in biodiversity and conservation research is simply identifying a species of interest in gobs of data, says @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, co-founder of MegaDetector. But that promises to change swiftly.

🚨 Exciting Opportunity for Students and Early-Stage Researchers! WildINTEL is hiring a student or PhD student to work on mammal community dynamics using camera trap data, AI tools, and citizen science. πŸ‘‰ panel.iop.krakow.pl/uploads/232/...

Have you ever wondered what makes two models different? We all know the ViT-Large performs better than the Resnet-50, but what visual concepts drive this difference? Our new ICLR 2025 paper addresses this question! nkondapa.github.io/rsvc-page/

ALDI has recently been featured in TMLR, and we've expanded it to include YOLO and DETR! Check out out πŸ‘‡

Adapt object detectors to new data *without labels* with Align and Distill (ALDI), our domain adaptation framework published last week in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (with a Featured Certification [Spotlight]!)
